42: Chapter 42 Death Desert 25

Luo Yuejian could not blatantly seek death, and she wasn't prepared to jump down on her own. However, she moved toward that fissure, deviating from her original straight path.

This seemingly casual change actually contained her careful planning. Because in this way, not only could she effectively extend the time used for her escape, but she could also make the entire flight process filled with more uncertainty and danger coefficients.

Luo Yuejian, however, secretly rejoiced, thinking, "I've created so many opportunities for you, surely you must hit me at least once?"

This time, she wasn't wrong. After losing her sanity, all of Lady Ba's attacks were disorderly and indiscriminate, so many waves of light would even collide halfway and dissipate on the spot.

But this also created another situation, which was that some light waves might happen to form a blind spot in their attack.

Luo Yuejian was now facing this exact situation.

Just as she ran to the edge of the fissure, she saw three light waves from who knows where form a triangle and strike toward her, enveloping her within. Luo Yuejian instinctively judged that she definitely couldn't dodge all three of these light waves. Could she still not die? Luo Yuejian thought happily, "This damn ghost of a game, bye-bye~"

Luo Yuejian's attention was entirely focused on the three light waves attacking her, and she completely failed to notice the gravel under her feet. This kind of gravel was extremely common; previously, under the enhancement of Agility Instinct, Luo Yuejian had never paid any attention to these stones, moving as if through uninhabited territory. However, she never expected that she would suddenly step on a rock.

She saw her foot suddenly slip, and her whole body lunged forward, falling straight toward that bottomless, huge fissure.

Luo Yuejian was stunned and cursed in her heart, because after falling into the fissure like this, she had actually dodged those three attacks. However, Luo Yuejian wasn't particularly angry; after all, falling into a ground fissure was also a death; it was just a matter of dying sooner or later.

Luo Yuejian comforted herself in her heart, "It's fine, she's dead for sure this time." But just at this moment, a powerful airflow erupted from within the fissure, directly lifting Luo Yuejian upward.

Luo Yuejian was dumbfounded. What was going on? Wasn't this fucking playing her? She didn't die even like this? Was this reasonable?

At this time, quite a few people in the livestream room typed question marks.

[666, how was this done? How did Moon God discover that the ground fissure would erupt with airflow?]

[Holy crap, this was too thrilling; White-haired Beauty almost died!]

[Scared me to death, I thought my Moon was going to be lost here.]

[It should be because of cold and hot convection, right?]

[That's too much of a gamble on luck, this is the Desert after all. If the cold and heat intensity wasn't enough to form it, wouldn't she have fallen?]

[Yeah, if she had been careless, she would have been dead for sure.]

[Looking at how the comment section was praising her so divinely before, I thought she was so awesome, but didn't she almost finish it?]

Many people in the livestream room chimed in, until a comment interrupted their discussion.

[Heh, you all underestimate Moon God too much. You think Moon God is gambling on luck, on the first floor, but in reality, she is already on the fifth floor.]

[Pay attention to the surrounding fissures. From this angle, you should be able to discover that this fissure is not an ordinary crack. The fissure connects to a complex underground cave system, and the cause of the airflow is likely air convection caused by temperature differences.]

[It seems it really is like that? But Moon God shouldn't have known about these caves before, right?]

[That's why I said you are on the first floor. Do you still remember what the yellow-haired youth said when he suddenly appeared earlier?]

[Holy cow, I remember now. He said he fell into a cave, and there were many grottos inside! Thinking about it carefully is terrifying; thinking about it roughly is also terrifying!]

[Damn, she could connect all this? Is Moon God even human?]

...

Whether Luo Yuejian was human or not, she didn't know, but this game was truly a dog. Hadn't she tried hard enough to throw the game? Why were there always accidents every time? Luo Yuejian was a bit exasperated, but at least she had suffered quite a few blows before, and with the system still watching like a tiger preying on its prey, she could only try her best to steady her figure, wanting to escape that airflow in a disheveled manner.

However, just at this moment, a dazzling pillar of light pounced straight toward her like a ferocious beast! It seemed to contain endless power and a terrifying might that could destroy everything. Through this hair-raising pillar of light, one could clearly see Lady Ba's stunningly beautiful face slightly upturned, a bone-chilling cold sneer appearing at the corners of her mouth.

It was obvious that the appearance of losing her sanity and being wildly out of control that she had displayed before was merely a clever disguise. It turned out that from the very beginning, she had been observing in the shadows, patiently waiting for the best moment to arrive, attempting to deliver the most fatal blow to Luo Yuejian!

Now, she had found it.

Luo Yuejian truly had no way to make any response at this moment; after all, she couldn't even stand steadily right now.

Finally... was she about to die? Luo Yuejian's heart was extremely excited; without joking, this was the closest she had ever been to death. She couldn't dodge, her teammates were all far away from her, and she didn't have any items on her... wait...

Luo Yuejian suddenly remembered something, her expression changed, but she immediately comforted herself: what kind of item was that? An object of unknown origin...

The pillar of light struck straight at Luo Yuejian's face. Until it was no more than half a meter in front of her, Luo Yuejian's pocket suddenly moved.

"Holy crap, don't move, stay right there!" Luo Yuejian roared in her heart, but it was in vain. The antique staff in her pocket seemed to have sensed some familiar aura, flew out all of a sudden, and blocked perfectly in front of Luo Yuejian.

Just at the moment when that fatal blow fiercely smashed into the staff, Lady Ba roared in terror, "No!" Immediately after, she let out a blood-curdling, miserably wretched scream! This scream seemed to be able to pierce through a person's soul, making one shudder.

The screaming stopped abruptly. One could see Lady Ba's body, as if controlled by some mysterious force, begin to rapidly disintegrate and dissipate. Her body gradually turned into tiny grains of sand, drifting away with the breeze, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, because the staff released an extremely huge impact force when it exploded, Luo Yuejian had no time to make any reaction at all. Like a cannonball, she was fiercely knocked flying by this powerful force. And the direction she was knocked flying was actually exactly that white clearance pillar of light!

The huge impact force made Luo Yuejian's speed extremely fast, even surpassing Wolf-tail Guy who was closest to the white clearance pillar of light. Flying in mid-air, Luo Yuejian didn't even have the heart to die anymore. Her whole person was in a Zen-like state, her eyes hollow and lifeless, smiling slightly, and then in the blink of an eye, she was sent into the clearance pillar of light.
